Republican presidential candidates have agreed on a series of demands to give them greater control of debates — except for Donald Trump, who will negotiate on his own.

Representatives from more than a dozen campaigns emerged from a closed-door meeting in suburban Washington on Sunday night having agreed to several changes to be outlined in a letter to debate hosts in the coming days.

“Just like the CNBC debate, we will negotiate with the media,” Cory Lewandowski told NPR. “We’re going to work with the networks to make sure the candidate’s interest is at the forefront to negotiate the best deal.”
